"purpose is to promote the interests of the residents of Rutland,
including the improvement of quality of their lives and quality of the
environment. Also to proactively facilitate dialogue and interaction
with; the City of Kelowna, the RDCO, other levels of government, and
other persons. The Association endeavours to ensure that the concerns of
Rutland residents are considered in the City's, RDCO's, and other
government's decision making process." Source: https://rutlandresidentsassociation.ca/2017_Constitution_and_Bylaws_of_the_RRA.pdf
The
Rutland Residents Association hosts monthly general meetings that are
open to any residents of Rutland whether a member or not. They also
host Town Hall meetings for
Rutland residents to safely express their concerns and ask questions of
community influencers, Kelowna city staff, etc. The Rutland Residents
Associations meets with Rutland stakeholders, to share the opinions and
needs expressed to the Association by Rutland residents. When warranted
the Rutland Residents Association has written to Provincial and Federal
government
Ministers and departments, the Premier, Municipal Councillors, and
others regarding concerns which affect our Rutland Community.
The Association takes the well being of Rutland residents very seriously. For the last three years in June the Rutland Residents Association has hosted a Rutland Community Picnic at the Rutland Centennial Park. This was with the support of Kelowna Active Living staff and the first year with financial support from the Central Okanagan Foundation, also with a grant from Valley First Credit Union. The Rutland Residents Association has successfully hosted an All Candidates Forum for the last five elections, these have always been well attended and valued as a place for residents to talk face to face with candidates. The last All Candidates Forum was accomplished with the support of the Uptown Rutland Business Association, SD23, and many of our community volunteers.

We are working on getting a static map with labeled street

Association Boundaries.
